A data generation program includes instructions of: acquiring three-dimensional data representing a three-dimensional shape of a three-dimensional product; acquiring an arrangement condition for arranging a support member to the three-dimensional product; setting an extending direction, a width direction, and a height direction of the support member; adding a cutting margin of a particular thickness to a cutting surface of the three-dimensional product at one side in the height direction; setting the support member in accordance with the arrangement condition, one end of the support member in the extending direction being connected to the cutting margin added to the three-dimensional product; setting a beam, the beam being spaced from the three-dimensional product having the cutting margin in the extending direction, the beam extending in the width direction; generating three-dimensional modeling data for modeling a modeled object by using a three-dimensional modeling apparatus; and outputting the three-dimensional modeling data.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 5, wherein the position corresponding to the identified outer peripheral edge is a position at which at least part of the one end of the support member in the extending direction is in contact with the outer peripheral edge.
7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 5, wherein the identifying the outer peripheral edge includes identifying the outer peripheral edge of the cutting surface of the three-dimensional product to which the cutting margin is added, based on a maximum value or a minimum value of the three-dimensional data in the extending direction within the extension range in the width direction of the support member.
15. The three-dimensional modeling system according to claim 14, wherein the position corresponding to the identified outer peripheral edge is a position at which at least part of the one end of the support member in the extending direction is in contact with the outer peripheral edge.
